Ecclesfield Priory, Medieval monastery in Ecclesfield, England
The stone structure features a north-south orientation with a chapel at its southeast corner, built using sandstone and millstone grit materials.
The monastery began operations in 1201 under the control of St Wandrille's Abbey in Normandy until its transfer to St Anne's Priory in 1386.
The building contains medieval architectural elements including lancet windows, a piscina, an aumbry, and a barrel-vaulted ceiling in the chapel section.
The structure maintains its Grade II* listed status, indicating its national importance and ensuring preservation under English heritage protection laws.
During the 14th century, armed messengers were dispatched to retrieve Prior Robert Gullielmi following allegations of financial mismanagement at the monastery.
